FREEMAN CEMETERY
Near Freeman Falls, & Old Freeman Furnace,
Mount Pleasant Township
This Cemetery is on a steep hillside on
Pennsylvania Route connecting Route 31 at Acme with Route 180.
Per Mr. James G. Freeman, Caretaker July 12th, 1947, whose address
is R. D. #1, Acme, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania:
"This plot of ground was used as a Burial Ground during the French
and Indian War, and earlier than that period, as is found on teh
oldest stone, which is inscribged "I. B. 1708?. More than
fifty bodies are buried in this old section, which graves are marked
with stones moved from teh old Freeman Furnace, which stones bear no
inscriptions. Several Indian Skeletons have been removed from
this burial spot, which skeletons can be seen in glass cases in the
Fayette-Westmoreland Historical Building at West Overton,
Pennsylvania. Due to this old Burial Ground being situated on
teh farm of my grandfather John Freeman, he and his wife,
Nancy Freeman deeded the tract of land to the Trustees of the
Freeman Grave Yard April 2, 1895. A perpetual care fund is in
the process of being raised, and a Charter for the Freeman Cemetery
Association has been granted by the State of Pennsylvania."
